I
was born on Staten Island and raised near the harbor, where haunting medleys
of foghorns often drifted up from the misty bay. Growing up in
an old Victorian home on Vanderbilt Avenue and an apartment on Westervelt
Avenue have provided me with many wonderful memories about which
I write today. Other
places I have lived include: Harbor View North Apartments at 60 Hamilton
Ave., the Grymes Hill Apartments and the Silver Lake Arms at 800 Victory
Boulevard. I attended PS14, PS16 then graduated from Curtis HS in 1968. Now
living in Florida, I write for the Florida Today and Star-Advocate
newspapers as well as inspirational publications.
